Resilience Tips and Resources

The news of the tsunami disaster and developments in Iraq remind us that we live in an unpredictable world. We do not all respond the same way to these events, which may trigger for some distressing feelings and thoughts from previous traumatic experiences, such as September 11. To help you manage these emotions and to broaden understanding of the effects of trauma, Families of September 11 continues to provide our members with a range of resources and articles. Below is a highlight of recent postings. Please visit the Families of September 11 website and Children of September 11 webpage for more information and similar resources. In addition, look for details on an upcoming online chat this month with a licensed mental health professional titled "Retriggering Trauma: When Events Evoke Emotions." As always, email us your thoughts at info@familiesofseptember11.org or visit our bulletin board.
